Google Cloud VMWare Engine Private Cloud module

The module manages one or more Google Cloud VMWare Engine Private Clouds.

It can either create a new VMWare engine network shared between the private clouds or it can use an existing one. The module also creates peering connections to users' VPCs or other VMware engine networks.

To understand the limits and to properly configure the vSphere/vSAN subnets CIDR range please refer to the GCVE public documentation.

The deployment might require up to 2 hours, depending on the selected private cloud target zone.

Limitations

The module and underlying resources still don't support the creation of stretched (regional) private clouds.

Basic Private Cloud Creation

module "gcve-pc" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/gcve-private-cloud"
  prefix     = "gcve-pc"
  project_id = "gcve-test-project"
  vmw_network_peerings = {
    transit-conn1 = {
      peer_network = "projects/test-prj-gcve-01/global/networks/default"
    }
  }
  vmw_private_cloud_configs = {
    pcc_one = {
      cidr = "192.168.0.0/24"
      zone = "europe-west8-a"
    }
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=3 inventory=basic.yaml

Customize management cluster configs

You can customize the management cluster of each VMware engine private cloud.

module "gcve-pc" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/gcve-private-cloud"
  prefix     = "gcve-pc"
  project_id = "gcve-test-project"
  vmw_network_peerings = {
    transit-conn1 = {
      peer_network = "projects/test-prj-gcve-01/global/networks/default"
    }
  }
  vmw_private_cloud_configs = {
    pcc_one = {
      cidr = "192.168.0.0/24"
      management_cluster_config = {
        node_type_id      = "standard-72"
        node_count        = 6
        custom_core_count = 28
      }
      zone = "europe-west8-a"
    }
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=3 inventory=custom-management.yaml

Create additional clusters

You can optionally create additional clusters in each VMware engine private cloud.

module "gcve-pc" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/gcve-private-cloud"
  prefix     = "gcve-pc"
  project_id = "gcve-test-project"
  vmw_network_peerings = {
    transit-conn1 = {
      peer_network = "projects/test-prj-gcve-01/global/networks/default"
    }
  }
  vmw_private_cloud_configs = {
    pcc_one = {
      cidr = "192.168.0.0/24"
      additional_cluster_configs = {
        test-cluster-one = {
          node_type_id      = "standard-72"
          node_count        = 6
          custom_core_count = 28
        }
        test-cluster-two = {
          node_type_id      = "standard-72"
          node_count        = 4
          custom_core_count = 28
        }
      }
      zone = "europe-west8-a"
    }
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=5 inventory=additional-clusters.yaml

Enable cluster Internet access and inbound connectivity

module "gcve-pc" {
  source     = "./fabric/modules/gcve-private-cloud"
  prefix     = "gcve-pc"
  project_id = "gcve-test-project"
  vmw_network_config = {
    network_policies = {
      ew8 = {
        edge_services_cidr       = "192.168.100.0/26"
        region                   = "europe-west8"
        expose_on_internet       = true
        outbound_internet_access = true
      }
    }
  }
  vmw_private_cloud_configs = {
    pcc_one = {
      cidr = "192.168.0.0/24"
      zone = "europe-west8-a"
    }
  }
}
# tftest modules=1 resources=3 inventory=network-policy.yaml
